Crazy Wooden Toy – Kapla Blocks

admin — Mon, 04 May 2009 06:40:39 +0000

A perfect alternative to famous Lego toys. Simple laser-cut pine-made wooden pieces enable children to construct any structure (a pirate ship, skyscrapers, dragons, villages, anything you can imagine as you can see from the following pictures) without any glues, screws or clips. There is simply no interlocking on Kapla Building Blocks. You just put one on another. The structures you build will mostly depend on gravity and balance. Well, it is even possible to construct Eiffel tower that way.

There is only one type piece featuring 7 different colors. They are safe, non toxic and green. Especially, the best toy for kindergardens, birthdays and parties. Safe natural creative play. The best way to rescue your children and their health from computer video games !

Have you ever been sucked into a black hole?

The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics which is authored by Leonard Susskind (Felix Bloch professor of theoretical physics at Stanford University and he is accepted as one of the fathers of String Theory) provides an interesting and adventurous journey to subjects like quantum mechanics, black holes, string theory, general relativity.

What happens when something is sucked into a black hole? Does it disappear? Three decades ago, a young physicist named Stephen Hawking claimed it did-and in doing so put at risk everything we know about physics and the fundamental laws of the universe. Most scientists didn’t recognize the import of Hawking’s claims, but Leonard Susskind and Gerard t’Hooft realized the threat, and responded with a counterattack that changed the course of physics. THE BLACK HOLE WAR is the thrilling story of their united effort to reconcile Hawking’s revolutionary theories of black holes with their own sense of reality-effort that would eventually result in Hawking admitting he was wrong, paying up, and Susskind and t’Hooft realizing that our world is a hologram projected from the outer boundaries of space.

Don’t think that you will not understand anything. It is a popular culture science book. Surely not for dummies, but also not for geniuses.

Coffins for Showtime Obsessives

Honestly, I support crematories and so fearful going under the soil to stay thousands of years with boredom and with lovely looking insects (my horror story brrrrr) until I dissolve to main elements completely but still the majority of people have traditions to be buried “happily” (No one can make me to say that “blindly” !). Anyway, It is a chance to express your hobbies or lifestyle at your funeral party for a last impression on the crowd. (Well I learned that these are also suitable for cremation). So, now they are in my need list

Well I have remembered that my mother was obsessively fingering and making holes on one of those art forms which was under exhibition in a shopping center when she visited there time to time for products and telling that whether she annoyed them or not? An interesting approach surely.
